One of Howell’s frustrations is to be able to learn at least one foreign language. He is choosing between French, Mandarin or Nihonggo. But he is so busy that he really can’t find the time to study or to enroll in a foreign language class.
So this is one of his dreams for Bela, that Bela will be fluent with at least one foreign language. In fact, as early as now he is already asking me to inquire at foreign language schools like Alliance Française de Manille since he learned that these schools accepts students as young as four years old.
They say that at this age, the minds of kids are like sponge and they will absorb and learn whatever they see or hear around them so they say that it is a good idea to start teaching kids about foreign language during this stage. We won’t be able to enroll Bela to a foreign language class not until next year but Howell already started looking for downloadable audio books of different foreign languages. Maybe we can start playing it to Bela so she can get familiar with it.
Imagine hearing your daughter saying “Bonjour” or “Merci” or hearing her count in Mandarin or Japanese. That would be really cool.
